Ludbreg, 2014. DVADESET GODINA RESTAURATORSKOG CENTRA LUDBREG Dvadeseta obljetnica rada Restauratorskog centra u Ludbregu dobar je povod da se prisjetimo početaka toga odjela Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda i da rekapituliramo djelovanje Zavoda u tom vremenu. Od rada u ratnom okruženju do problema djelovanja javne ustanove u vremenu globalizacije, promjene koje su za- htijevale tranzicija i pridruživanje Europskoj uniji te višegodišnji rad u kriznim uvjetima, uvjetovali su niz složenih rješenja problema i prilagodbi. U proteklih dvadeset godina svjedoci smo naglog razvoja restauratorske djelatnosti u Hrvatskoj. Treba istaknuti da su taj intenzivni razvoj restauratorske djelatnosti kvalitetno katalizirali višegodišnja plodna suradnja s Bavarskom zemaljskom službom zaštite spomenika i potpora i po- ticaj našeg Ministarstva kulture. Seminari, radionice, susreti i aktivnosti usmjerili su Hrvatski restauratorski zavod prema intenziviranju razvoja stručnih djelatnosti, pomlađivanju, organiziranju školovanja i izgradnji kapaciteta. Treba također imati na umu da su svi ti oblici djelovanja i razvoja bili vezani uz svakodnevnu praksu restauratorskog rada i da su se stečena znanja primjenjivala i ispitivala bez mogućnosti odmaka, uz sva ograničenja djelovanja u restauratorskoj praksi. No primjerenije je da o tom proteklom vremenu govore osobe koje su u najvećoj mjeri utjecale na oblikovanje Zavoda, njegov razvoj i širenje na cijelom teritoriju Hrvatske. Moja je pak želja i funkcija da tu djelatnost Zavoda što učinkovitije prilagodimo novim trendovima i realnim mogućnostima europskog okruženja na što kvalitetniji način. Treba spomenuti da je Grad Ludbreg, od samog početka djelovanja restauratora u svojoj sredini, prepoznao taj 4 potencijal i poticao međusobnu suradnju na raznovrsne načine. Ni s jednom drugom sredinom Zavod ne su- rađuje tako trajno i tako dobro. Danas kad se oblikuje novi i moderniji pristup baštini, kad je razvoj kulturnih sadržaja često podložan zahtjevima senzacionalizma, doprinos naše baštine turističkom razvoju uglavnom ne zadovoljava takve kriterije. No smatramo da razvoj koji se intenzivno veže uz baštinu, vjerski i kulturni turizam, ekologiju i prirodni okoliš ima važan potencijal koji njeguje i razvija trajne i stabilne vrijednosti. I u tom "restauratorskom" segmentu možemo ustanoviti da je Ludbreg, premda nije "restauratorski centar svijeta", ipak postao čvrsto uporište iz kojega se uspio pokrenuti "restauratorski svijet" u Hrvatskoj. U tome su sudjelovali i mnogi kojih danas nažalost više nema među nama. No s lijepim mislima na njih i sa željom da promičemo geslo Zavoda da je restauratorstvo budućnost za prošlost, učinimo tu budućnost još izvjesnijom i prisutnijom.

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre 20 Years of the Ludbreg Conservation Centre

The twentieth anniversary of the Ludbreg Conservation Centre is a right occasion for us to remember the beginnings of this Croatian Conservation Institute’s department and also to briefly recapitulate the activities of the Institute in the course of that period. From working in a wartime environment to issues faced by a public institution in the time of globalization and changes necessitated by political transition and accession to the European Union, as well as the long years of operating in crisis conditions, called for a series of complex pro- blem solving operations and adaptations. In the last 20 years, we have witnessed the rapid development of art conservation in Croatia. We should point out that this extraordinary development was further catalyzed by the many years of fruitful cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation, as well as the backing and support of our Ministry of Culture. Seminars, workshops, meetings and activities directed the Croatian Conservation Institute towards intensifying the development of its professional activity, to hiring young professionals, organizing education programmes and developing its working facilities. We must also keep in mind that all these development activities ran parallel with the everyday conservation practice, and that the newly-acquired knowledge was being directly applied and tested, notwithstanding all limitations of the conservation practice. Nevertheless, it would perhaps be more appropriate to let this past time be recounted by the individuals who mostly influenced the forming of the Institute, its development and expansion across Croatia. It is my wish and duty to make the Institute’s work as effectively adapted as possible to new trends and real possibilities of the European context. It should be noted that the Town of Ludbreg has from the very beginnings of art conservation in the community recognized its potential and initiated cooperation in various ways. No other community has cooperated with the Institute in such a long-term and effective way. Nowadays that a new and more modern approach to heritage is evolving, and when the development of cultural assets is oftentimes subjected to the demands of sensationalism, the potential of our heritage for tourist development is largely unable to meet such criteria. However, we feel that the type of development that relies largely on heritage, religious and cultural tourism or the environment does have considerable potential that would cultivate and promote permanent and stable values. And while even in this “conservation” segment we can establish that Ludbreg may not be the “conservation centre of the world”, it has nevertheless become a firm stronghold that has managed to inspire the “conservation world” in Croatia. Many who are sadly not among us anymore had their share in this. So with thankful remembrance and with the desire to promote the Institute’s motto that conservation constitutes the future for the past, let us make that future even more certain and palpable.

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre PREDGOVOR

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod i njegov Restauratorski centar u Ludbregu odlučili su obilježiti dvadesetu obljetnicu osnivanja i djelatnosti Restauratorskog centra. Gledajući unatrag, iznimno je učinkovita bila suradnja hrvatskih i bavarskih sudionika u ostvarenju projekta spašavanja kulturnih dobara evakuiranih iz ratom zahvaćenih i ugroženih područja Hrvatske. Projekt je obuhvatio obnovu i uređenje dvorca Batthyany, odnosno njegove glavne zgrade za tu namjenu, formiranje središnje čuvaonice za kulturna dobra, osnivanje restauratorske radionice i programe stručnog usavršavanja konzervatora i restauratora. Taj je projekt ponajbolji, a u pojedinim aspektima i jedinstven primjer sinergije brojnih sudionika koji su omogućili da put od zamisli do ostvarenja bude naročito sadržajan, koristan i uspješan. Stoga tek nekoliko napomena o nezaobilaznim međašima na tom putu. Godine 1991. Zavod za zaštitu spomenika kulture u sklopu Ministarstva prosvjete, kulture i športa, okuplja konzervatore, restauratore, muzealce i druge u provođenju evakuacije kulturnih vrijednosti iz ratom ugrože- nih područja na sigurne lokacije. Uz to ažurno šalje informacije o stradanju hrvatske kulturne baštine na niz domaćih i inozemnih adresa s pozivom za pomoć. Slijedom traženja sigurnih lokacija za prihvat evakuiranih dobara, grad Ludbreg ustupa svoj dvorac Batthyany, a sagledavanjem potreba i mo- gućnosti na terenu, u pomoć dolaze predstavnici Bavarskog pokrajinskog zavoda za zaštitu spomenika. Počinje suradnja širokog kruga zainteresi- ranih za pružanje pomoći, s mnogo dobre volje i razumijevanja. Tako projekt Restauratorskog centra Ludbreg postaje važna tema stalne Hr- vatsko-bavarske komisije i Hrvatsko-bavarskog društva. Financijska pomoć stiže od bavarske Vlade, Hypo – Zaklade za kulturu Bavarskog državnog ureda i nadbiskupskih ordinarijata München – Freising i Bamberg. U jeku kampanje za prikupljanje priloga u Ba- Bavarski kolege s domaćinima na radnom sastanku u Ludbregu (1996.) varskoj „svi znadu za Ludbreg“. Godine 1994. Bavarian colleagues with the hosts at a working meeting in Ludbreg, 1996 pokreće se prva faza – otvaraju se restauratorske radionice i čuvaonica evakuiranih dobara u djelomično obnovljenom dvorcu. Međutim, projekt ide dalje i preostaje još važnija investicija za cjelovitu obnovu dvorca Batthyany. Restauratorski centar Ludbreg tada je organizacijska jedinica Restauratorskog zavoda Hrvatske, da bi se nakon ujedinjavanja tih djelatnosti našao u sastavu Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda. Tada Vlada Repu- blike Hrvatske prihvaća kredit Bavarske državne banke kojim se nastavljaju radovi na sanaciji dvorca u izved- bi građevinske tvrtke Euro-Line d.o.o. iz Ludbrega, ugradnja odgovarajućih instalacija, opremanje prostora i konačno oblikovanje centra u punom pogonu. Slijedi niz stručnih skupova kojima je Restauratorski centar u Ludbregu postao važan poligon za stručno usavršavanje konzervatora i restauratora. Poslove, dakako, čine ljudi pa je nemjerljiv doprinos niza sudionika bez kojih se ovaj projekt ne bi mogao razgranati i postići sve svoje rezultate. Uz rizik zaborava vrlo važnih doprinosa, svakako moramo spomenuti ključne osobe koje su uz Uprave neposredno zaduženih i angažiranih institucija Republike Hrvatske, u ostvarenju ovog projekta na funkcijama u to vrijeme: Vesna Girardi Jurkić - ministrica prosvjete, kulture i športa, Božidar Prka – ministar 6 financija, Franjo Križanić – gradonačelnik Ludbrega, Michael Petzet – direktor i Erwin Emmerling – djelat- nik Bavarskog pokrajinskog zavoda za zaštitu spomenika kulture, Zvonko i Blanda Matica – projektanti, Slav- ko Blagaj - građevinski poduzetnik, Darwin Butković, Velimir Ivezić i Venija Bobnjarić-Vučković – voditelji Centra, Iskra Karniš – zadužena za međunarodnu suradnju. Retrospektivan pogled na nastajanje i postignute domete projekta Restauratorskog centra Ludbreg može ujedno biti i čvrst oslonac za budućnost tog projekta. Čuvaonica u kojoj se sabiru kulturna dobra oštećena ili ugrožena na ponekim osamljenim lokacijama, pogoni za konzervatorsko-restauratorsko obnavljanje i ure- đenje kulturnih dobara, kao i prikladno mjesto za okupljanje stručnjaka u cilju stručnog usavršavanja, uz sudjelovanje u kulturnom životu sredine, odnosno grada Ludbrega, ostaju važni aspekti vizije ovog projekta u budućim naporima za očuvanje hrvatske kulturne baštine.

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre FOREWORD

roatian Conservation Institute and its Ludbreg Conservation Centre decided to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Centre's foundation and ongoing activities within its premises. What stands out in the hindsight is an exceptionally efficient collaboration of Croatian and Bavarian professionals on the projectC of rescuing cultural heritage that was evacuated from the war-stricken and endangered areas of Croa- tia. The project encompassed the renovation of the main building of the Batthyány Mansion for this purpose, while also forming a central depot for the safekeeping of artefacts, as well as a conservation workshop and a venue for the training programmes for conservators and restorers. This project is an excellent and in some respects a unique example of synergy of the many different collabo- rators who made it possible for the road from an idea to its fruition to be so effective, useful and successful. Let us highlight only the key landmarks on that road. In 1991, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments within the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports brought together conservators, restorers, museum and other professionals in order to evacuate cultural artefacts from the war-stricken to safe locations. In addition, it was sending updated information about the ravaging of Croatian cultural heritage to various institutions, at home and abroad, with a call for help. The Town of Ludbreg agreed to let the Batthyány Mansion be used as a place for the safekeeping of evacuated artefacts. Representatives of the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation provided help in evaluating the needs and possibilities of working in the field. A cooperation was forged from the good will and under- standing of a wide circle of those interested in providing assistance. The Ludbreg Conservation Centre project thus became a major task for the permanent Croatian–Bavarian Commission and the Croatian–Bavarian Society. Financial aid came from the Bavarian Government, the Hypo-Kulturstiftung trust, the Bavarian State Office and the archbishopric offices of Munich–Friesing and Bamberg. In 1994, in the course of a fund-raising campaign in Bavaria, titled “Everybody knows of Ludbreg”, the first phase of the Centre was opened – the conservation workshops and the depot for evacuated artefacts in the partially renovated mansion. However, the project was still underway, with one large investment remaining, for the complete renovation of the Batthyány Mansion. The Ludbreg Conservation Centre was at that time an organizational unit of the Conservation Institute of Croatia, later to become part of the Croatian Conservati- on Institute, after institutions in the field were integrated. The Croatian Government then accepted a loan from the Bavarian State Bank to continue with the con- structional improvement of the mansion. It was executed by the Euro–Line Ltd. company from Ludbreg and followed by the setting up of necessary installations and equipment in order for the Centre to become fully operational. A series of professional conferences ensued that made the Ludbreg Conservation Centre into a major platform for the professional training of conservators and restorers. We should not fail to take note of the immeasurable efforts by a number of people without whom this project could not have evolved and achie- ved its remarkable results. With the risk of forgetting some important contributors and aside from mentioning the institutions of the Republic of Croatia in charge of the project, we must certainly mention some key figures who were in office at the time: Vesna Girardi Jurkić – Minister of Education, Culture and Sports, Božidar Prka – Minister of Finance, Franjo Križanić – Mayor of Ludbreg, Michael Petzet – director and Erwin Emmerling – employee of the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation, Zvonko and Blanda Matica – architects on the project, Slavko Blagaj – construction entrepreneur, Darwin Butković, Velimir Ivezić and Venija Bobnjarić Vučković – heads of the Centre and Iskra Karniš – who was in charge of the international cooperation. A retrospective view of the formation and accomplishments of the Ludbreg Conservation Centre can also provide a firm stronghold for the project in the future. Whether as a depot for collecting cultural artefacts, 7 injured or endangered at some desolate sites, or as a workshop for the conservation and renovation of cultural artefacts and a venue where professionals come together for training programmes, and all the while being part of the cultural life of the Ludbreg community, this project will abide by its vision in its future efforts of preserving Croatian cultural heritage.

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre O povijesti Ludbrega i dvorca Batthyány Ludbreg, gradić s oko četiri tisuće stanovnika, nalazi se na sjeveru Republike Hrvatske uz granicu s Mađarskom. O kon- tinuitetu naseljenosti toga po- dručja svjedoče mnogobrojni arheološki nalazi koji su uka- zali na obitavanje Ilira, Kelta i Rimljana.

Srednjovjekovno naselje formira se na sjevernom dijelu razrušenog antičkog kompleksa oko crkve koja se spominje u vizitacijama 1334. godine. Naselje sječe status trgovišta, a nedaleko od njega podignuta je srednjovjekovna utvrda. Prvi pisani trag o kastrumu (burgu), koji je nastao vjerojatno već u 13. stoljeću, potječe iz 1320. godine, a spominje „Castrum de Ludbreg“ u vlasništvu Nikole Ludbreškog. Početkom novog vijeka dvorac je prelazio u vlasništvo više poznatih hrvatskih i ugarskih plemićkih obitelji sve do kraja 17. stoljeća, kad dolazi u posjed obitelji Batthyány. O brojnim preinakama i dogradnjama dvorca do tog razdoblja još i danas svjedoče u ziđu sačuvani kameni fragmenti poput gotičkih „čeških“ prozora u zidu sjevernog i zapadnog krila. Iz gotičke faze sačuvana je i četverokutna kula u kojoj se, prema predaji, 1411. odigralo čudo pretvorbe Krvi Kri- stove, potvrđeno 1513. godine bulom pape Leona X. Obitelj Batthyány naručila je radikalnu barokizaciju gotičko-rene- sanse cjeline 1745. godine, izvedenu prema projektu gradač- kog arhitekta Josepha Huebera. 8 Barokno-klasicistički kompleks dvorca Batthyány u samom je središtu naselja. Kompleks se sastoji od dvokatnog man- Češki prozor na istočnom zidu zapadnog tornja sardnog četverokrilnog dvorca s unutarnjim dvorištem i dvi- Czech window on the eastern wall of the western tower ju dvokatnih gospodarskih zgrada smještenih u prostranom perivoju. U zapadnoj kuli sa zvonikom smješteno je svetište, a u njegovu produžetku brod kapele. Iz razdoblja barokizacije dvorca datiraju i zidne slike u kapeli, koje se stilski mogu podijeliti u dvije faze: starije u kupoli, rad su nepoznatog štajerskog majstora iz prvog desetljeća 18. stoljeća, dok je one u brodu 1753. godine izra- dio Michael Peck aus Kanisa. Dominantni barokni izgled dvorca ostao je sačuvan do današnjeg dana. Jedine promjene koje je unijelo 19. stoljeće očituju se u zoni mansarde i krova, kada je uklonjen toranj iznad kapele s lukovicom i satom, a mansardni krov preoblikovan je u treći kat. Nakon rasprodaje cijelog vlastelinstva u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća u posjed dvorca dolazi Općina Ludbreg i od tada često mijenja korisnike koji ga prilagođavaju svojim potrebama.

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre On the history of Ludbreg and the Batthyány Mansion Ludbreg is a town of ca. 4000 residents, situated in the north of the Republic of Croatia, on the border with Hungary. The area has continually been inhab- ited, as testified by numerous archaeological finds of Illyrian, Celtic and Roman settlements. The Roman town of Iovia Botivo was founded in the 1st century at the site of the present-day town, and was situated on an important route that connected the Pannonian centres of Poetovio (Ptuj in Slovenia) and Mursa (Osijek). The medieval settlement was formed in the northwestern part of the derelict Roman complex, around a church that was mentioned in the visitations of 1334. The settlement acquired the status of a market town, and not far from it a medieval fortress was construct- ed. The first written record of a castrum (burg), which was probably formed already in the 13th century, dates from 1320 and mentions the “Castrum de Ludbreg” to be owned by Nikola of Ludbreg. In the early modern period, the castle was owned by various notable Croa- tian and Hungarian noble families, up until the 17th century when it passed down to the Batthyány family. Numerous alterations and reconstructions that the castle had undergone by that period are today visible in the walls, where stone fragments such as the Gothic Ludbreg, kompleks barokiziranog dvorca s renesansnim “Czech” windows still exist in the walls of the north- obrambenim predzidom i kulama, grafika I.V. Kaupretza iz XVIII. ern and western wing. From the Gothic phase, a rec- st., presnimljeno iz Umjetničke topografije Hrvatske - Ludbreg tangular tower still exists, where according to legend Ludbreg, complex of the mansion renovated in the Baroque period, with in 1411 a miracle of transubstantiation of the blood of the Renaissance-period defensive outer wall and towers, 18th-c. engraving Christ took place, confirmed by a 1513 bull of Pope by I. V. Kaupertz (taken from Art Topography of Croatia – Ludbreg) Leo X. The Batthyány family commissioned a radical Baroque renovation of the Gothic-Renaissance ensemble in 1745, designed by the Graz architect Joseph Hueber. The Baroque-Neoclassical complex of the Batthyány Mansion is situated in the very centre of town. The complex consists of a two-storey mansion with a mansard roof and four wings, an inner courtyard and two two- storey facility buildings situated within a spacious park. The western bell tower houses a sanctuary, and in its extension is the nave of the chapel. The wall paintings of the chapel also originated during the Baroque renovation, in two phases according to their style characteristics; the earlier ones in the dome are a work of an un- known Styrian master from the first decade of the 18th century, while those in the nave were executed in 1753 by “Michael Peck aus Kanisa“. The predominantly Ba- roque appearance of the mansion has been preserved to this day. The only 19th-century alterations were made in the zone of the mansard roof, where the bulb tower 9 with a clock and topping the chapel was removed, while the mansard roof was redesigned into a third storey. After the whole estate was sold out in the first half of the 20th century, the Ludbreg Municipality came into possession of the mansion that has since then frequent- ly changed users who adjusted it to their own needs.

Zbog neprimjerenog korištenja dvorca tijekom gotovo cijelog 20. stoljeća, zatečeno stanje 1991. godine pokazivalo je visok stupanj devastacije. Već je tijekom 1984. i 1985. godine tadašnja Općina Ludbreg obnovila vanjska pročelja dvorca i stropnu ploču ispod krovišta, a početkom 1990. godine provedena je građevinska sanacija u kapeli Sv. Križa i prostorijama uz kapelu, u kojima je danas smještena Zbirka sakralne umjetnosti ludbreškoga kraja. Prvi veći građevinski zahvati nakon osnivanja Restauratorskog centra počeli su 1993. godine, kad je izrađen cjelovit projekt za obnovu dijela prostorija prizemlja i prvog kata, u koje su smješteni depoi i restauratorske radionice. Nakon dodjele kredita Hrvatskom restauratorskom zavodu 1997. godine, provedena su cjelovita konzervatorska istraživanja, na temelju kojih su uklonjene pregradnje i intervencije koje su narušavale izgled dvorca. Rekonstru- irani su i vraćeni na izvorno mjesto svi pregradni zidovi i otvori te je provedena temeljita sanacija međukatnih drvenih konstrukcija. Ilustrativan primjer je obnova velike svečane dvorane na prvom katu, koja nakon uklanjanja pregradnog stropa iz 20. stoljeća ponovno obuhvaća visinu dviju etaža, a zaključena je rekonstruiranim zrcalnim svodom sa susvodnicama, ispod kojeg se naziru restaurirani ostaci gravura za štuko dekoracije. Jednako je tako i pročeljima unutarnjeg dvorišta vraćen izgled iz 18. stoljeća s pravilnom izmjenom sivo obojenih rustikalnih ho- rizontalnih traka u prizemnoj zoni i vertikalnih upuštenih lezena među prozorskim osima u zoni prvog i drugog kata na bijeloj plohi zida. U podrumskom dijelu sanirani su zidovi i ugrađena je stolarija na prozorske otvore, a da bi se spriječilo pojačano vlaženje zidova, izvedena je drenaža izvana i iznutra. Nakon 10 2000. godine postupno se nastavlja s uređenjem preostalih dijelova dvorca za potrebe Restauratorskog centra. Podrum- ske prostorije ispod svih četiriju krila se uređuju i opremaju za potrebe deponiranja umjetnina, stavlja se u funkciju komora za dezinsekciju u prizemnom dijelu sjevernog krila, a privodi se namjeni i izložbena dvorana u prizemlju južnog krila. Svi građevinski, instalaterski i obrtnički radovi izvođeni su prema zahtjevima i načelima konzervatorske struke, a u skla- du s novom namjenom i nužnim osuvremenjivanjem objekta.

Due to inappropriate usage of the mansion throughout most of the 20th century, its condition as it was found in 1991 indicated a high degree of deterioration. As early as 1984 and 1985, the Ludbreg municipal authorities had the outer façades of the mansion renovated, together with a ceiling panel beneath the roof. In early 1990, construction improvement was underway in the Holy Cro- ss Chapel, as well as in the adjoining rooms that nowadays house the Collection of Religious Art of the Ludbreg area. First major construction efforts after the conservation centre was founded took off during 1993, when a comprehensive project was drawn up for the renovation of a portion of rooms in the ground- and first floor, which now house depots and conservation workshops. Once a loan was approved to the Croatian Conser- vation Institute in 1997, comprehensive conservation research got underway. As a result, subsequent addi- tions and interventions that distorted the appearance of the mansion were removed. All partition walls and openings were reconstructed and returned to their original locations, and the woodwork between the storeys was thoroughly improved. Postavljanje opeke u dvorištu / Laying the bricks in the courtyard An illustrative example of this was the renovation of the great hall on the first floor, which was integrated to extend over two storeys, as the 20th-century partition ceiling was removed. The hall is topped by a cavetto vault with lunettes, beneath which the restored fragments of drawings for the stucco decorations can be observed. Also, the façades of the inner courtyard were given back their 18th-century appearance, with regularly interchanging gray-colour horizontal rustic bands in the ground 11 floor and vertical receding pilaster strips alternating with window axes on the white wall surface of the 1st and 2nd floor. In the basement, walls were improved, woodwork was embedded into the window openings, and in order to prevent extra humidity, the walls were drained from both inside and outside. Since 2000, renovation has been underway in the remaining portions of the mansion, for the purposes of the Conservation Centre. The basement rooms beneath all four wings are being renovated and equipped, to be used as a depot for artefacts. A desinsection chamber was put into operation on the ground floor of the northern wing, and an exhibition room was opened in the ground floor of the southern wing. All construction, installation and finishing work was executed by respecting the demands and principles of conservation, while also in accordance with the building’s new designation and necessary modernization.

Projekt Restauratorskog centra Ludbreg nastao je inicijativom hrvatskih konzervatora, iznimnim razumije- vanjem i potporom grada Ludbrega, uz pomoć iz Bavarske i stručnu suradnju s bavarskim konzervatorima i restauratorima. U vremenu oružanih napada na Hrvatsku, taj je projekt nastao u svrhu spašavanja i očuvanja hrvatske kulturne baštine. Prihvatila su ga mjerodavna ministarstva (Ministarstvo kulture i Ministarstvo financija) i Vlada Republike Hrvatske. Nakon odobrenih sredstava iz državnog proračuna, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg, kao odjel Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda, u sustavu restauratorske djelatnosti djeluje kao poligon međunarodne suradnje i pomoći u obnovi hrvatske kulturne baštine.

1991. Nakon agresije na Hrvatsku, hitna evakuacija bila je učestalo rješenje za spas kulturnog i umjetničkog nasli- jeđa od ratnih razaranja. U sklopu Programa evakuacije ratom ugrožene spomeničke baštine na području kontinentalne Hrvatske organizirano je petnaest tajnih depoa za umjetnine, a upravo je dvorac u Ludbregu svojim kapacitetom od 3500 m² i relativnom uščuvanošću (s obzirom da nije bio korišten), pružao osnovne uvjete za pohranu evakuiranih umjetnina. Već iste godine stigli su odgovori na mnogobrojne apele upućene međunarod- 12 noj javnosti za pomoć u sprječavanju propadanja i uništavanja hrvatske kulturne baštine.

1992. Sklopljen je sporazum kojim grad Ludbreg ustupa dvorac Batthyány tadašnjem Ministarstvu prosvjete, kulture i športa na korištenje bez naknade, za potrebe zaštite kulturne baštine. Uspostavljena je suradnja sa stručnjacima više zemalja i međunarodnih institucija, a u studenome 1992. godine ekipa stručnjaka Bavarskog zemaljskog ureda za zaštitu spomenika iz Münchena (Bayerisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege) razgledala je depo umjetnina u ludbreškom dvorcu i već sljedeće godine donirala restauratorsku opremu i stručnu literaturu te novčana sredstva za pomoć pri osnivanju restauratorske radionice, često nazivane „Ratnom bolnicom za umjetnine“.

S hrvatske strane projekt je vodio Zavod za zaštitu spomenika kulture Ministar- stva prosvjete, kulture i športa, a potom Državna uprava za zaštitu kulturne i prirodne baštine. Restauratorski radovi na obnovi dvorca Batthyány i formiranje Restauratorskog centra povjereni su Restauratorskom zavodu Hrvatske.

1994. Kao rezultat uspješne suradnje hrvatskih i bavarskih stručnjaka, 15. travnja 1994. godine na prvom katu i u dijelu prizemlja dvorca otvorena je restauratorska radionica za polikromiranu drvenu plastiku i slike na drvenom i tkanom nosiocu, s bibliotekom, drvorezbarskom i stolarskom radionicom, depoima i ostalim pratećim sadržajima. U radionici su uz domaće radili i strani diplomirani konzervatori-restauratori, njihovi suradnici i studenti, te stručnjaci čija je djelatnost vezana uz konzervatorske i restauratorske radove.

1996. Restauratorski centar Ludbreg predstavio se izložbom u Muzeju Mimara u Zagrebu u povodu Bavarskog tjed- na, uz pokroviteljstvo Bavarsko-hrvatskog društva u Hrvatskoj u rujnu 1996. godine, a u prosincu iste godine postavljena je izložba fotografija u palači Vijeća Europe u Strasbourgu. Ista izložba bila je postavljena i u konzu- latu Republike Hrvatske u Münchenu u sklopu predstavljanja grada Ludbrega, u svibnju 1998. godine.

1997. 13 Opravdanost projekta obilježena je 7. srpnja 1997. godine dodjelom namjenskog kredita Hrvatskom restauratorskom zavodu za cjelovit zahvat saniranja dvorca Batthyány i opremanje Restauratorskog centra. Potpisan je ugovor s Bayerische Landesbank i Bayerische Landesanstalt für Aufbaufinanzierung, uz odgovarajuće odluke o jamstvu Vlade Republike Hrvatske. Centar u Ludbregu iste godine ulazi u sastav Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda koji umrežava restauratorske odjele u Zagrebu, Dubrovniku, Splitu, Šibeniku, Zadru, Rijeci, Puli, Juršićima i Osijeku. U sastavu Zavoda djeluju odjeli za graditeljsko naslijeđe, kopnenu i podvodnu arheologiju, radionice za restauriranje slika na tkanom i drvenom nosiocu, drvene polikromirane plastike, namještaja, metala, tekstila, kamena, štuka, zidnih slika, mozaika, papira, kože i arheoloških nalaza.

2000. Nakon osam godina od početka suradnje, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg svečano je otvoren 4. svibnja 2000. godine. Intenzivirao je restauriranje u ratu oštećenih umjetnina deponiranih u prostorijama dvorca, a potom i drugih spomenika hrvatske kulturne baštine. Pokrenuti su brojni programi stručnog usavršavanja za konzervatore i konzervatore-restauratore (konferencije, seminari i radionice) te programi međunarodne suradnje, s ciljem unapređivanja konzervatorske i konzervatorsko-restauratorske struke.

2003. Uz radionice za restauriranje štafelajnog slikarstva i drvene polikromirane skulpture, osnovan je i Od- sjek za tekstil u kojem se provode radovi preventivne zaštitne, konzervacije i restauracije liturgijskog ruha iz crkvenih i samostanskih zbirki, zastava cehovskih i vatrogasnih udruženja, narodnih nošnji iz svih krajeva Hrvatske, građanskih i vojnih odora te drugih oblika povijesnih artefakata izrađenih od raznovr- snih tkanina, često u kombinaciji i s drugim mate- rijalima (žica, vosak, papir, staklo, perle, titranke, krzno, koža, metal, slika). 14 2009./2010. Uz uspostavljanje restauratorskih radionica i održa- vanje stručno-znanstvenih skupova o zaštiti i restau- riranju tekstila, u Restauratorskom centru u Ludbregu 2009. godine osnovana je specijalizirana zbirka (Teksti- loteka) u kojoj se pohranjuje ugrožena povijesna tekstilna građa. Do 2014. godine u Tekstiloteci je prikupljeno i čuva se oko petstotinjak predmeta crkvenog tekstila iz sedam župnih zbirki sjeverozapadne Hrvatske. Radionica za povijesni tekstil / Workshop for historical textiles

Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Restauratorski centar Ludbreg Croatian Conservation Institute / Ludbreg Conservation Centre Tekstiloteka je pokrenuta s namjerom da se vrlo ugrožena tekstilna baština čuva na primjeren način i zaštiti od propadanja. Prikuplja- njem predmeta ujedno se stvara i baza uzoraka povijesnih tkanina proizvedenih u Hrvatskoj i u drugim dijelovima Europe, a prikuplje- na građa izvor je mnogih informacija s područja kulture i znanosti.

2014. Dvadeset godina nakon otvaranja prve restauratorske radionice i depoa za umjetnine oštećene i evakuirane u ratu, Restauratorski centar u Ludbregu organiziran je na sljedeći način: u prizemlju dvorca uz kapelu Sv. Križa i stalni postav Zbirke sakralne umjetnosti ludbreškog kraja smještene su prostorije Restau- ratorskog centra: stolarska radionica i lakirnica, radionica domara, prostorija za dezinsekciju umjetnina s komorom, prijamni depo i izložbena dvorana. Na prvom katu nalazi se administracija Restauratorskog centra i povijesna svečana dvorana u kojoj je moguće organizirati svečane skupove, promocije, koncerte i izložbe. Osim nje, na drugom katu je Zbirka sakralne umjetnosti u kapeli Sv. Križa uređena i opremljena dvorana sa šezdeset sjedećih mjesta u kojoj se Collection of Religious Art in the Holy Cross Chapel održavaju seminari, prezentacije i radionice. Restauratorske radionice smještene su na prvom i drugom katu dvorca i koriste se za restauriranje polikromirane drvene plastike, slika na drvenom i tkanom nosiocu, tekstila i papira. Prostrani atelijeri omogućavaju rad na zahtjevnim umjetninama velikih formata. Uz biblioteku i dokumentaciju, Restauratorski centar raspolaže i prostorima za deponiranje umjetnina smještenima na trećem katu i u podrumu. Smještaj gostujućih struč- njaka i studenata osiguran je u dormitoriju na trećem katu (deset soba sa zajedničkom kuhinjom i dnevnim boravkom). Sve etaže dvorca povezane su suvremenim dizalom, a sustavom grijanja, ventiliranja, ovlaživanja i odvlaživanja moguće je održavati kontrolirane mikroklimatske uvjete u radionicama i depoima.

At a time when Croatia suffered an armed invasion, the project emerged as a response to numerous issues of rescuing and preserving Croatian cultural heritage. Approved by the ministries of culture and finance and the Croatian Government, and encompassed by the budget, the Ludbreg Conservation Centre now operates within the Croatian Conservation Institute as a platform for international cooperation and aid in the conservation of Croatian cultural heritage.

1991 After Croatia was invaded, emergency evacuations were often resorted to as a way to rescue cultural and arti- stic heritage from wartime destruction. Within the Programme to evacuate the war-endangered heritage, 15 se- cret depots for artefacts were established in continental Croatia. It was the Ludbreg mansion that could provide basic conditions for the safekeeping of evacuated artefacts, due to its 3500-m2 spatial capacity, relatively good state of preservation and the fact that it was not used at the time. Numerous appeals to the international public for the rescue of Croatian cultural heritage were answered within that same year.

16 1992 A treaty was signed by which the Town of Ludbreg handed over the Batthyány Mansion to the then Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, to be used free of charge for the purposes of protecting cultural heritage. Cooperation was established with experts from many countries and international institutions. In November 1992, a team of experts from the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation in Munich was given a tour of the depot for artefacts in the Ludbreg mansion. As early as next year, they donated conservation equipment and professional literature, including financial aid for the conservation workshop that came to be called a “war hospital for artworks”. This was followed by donations from the Bavarian archbishoprics of Munich–Freising and Bamberg, as well as the Hypo-Kulturstiftung trust and the Bavarian State Office. On the Croatian part, the project was run by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of the Ministry of Education, Culture

Conservation work on the Batthyány Mansion and the founding of a conservation centre were entrusted to the Croatian Conservation Institute.

1994 As a result of successful cooperation between Croatian and Bavarian experts, on April 15th 1994, in the first floor and a portion of the ground floor of the mansion, a conservation workshop was opened, for polychrome wooden sculpture, paintings on wooden and textile support, as well as a library, woodcarving and carpenters’ workshops, the depot and other accompanying facilities. In addition to Croatian experts, international certi- fied conservators have worked at the workshop, their associates and students and other experts in the field of conservation.

1996 Ludbreg Conservation Centre was presented by an exhibition at the Mimara Museum in Zagreb, organized on the occasion of the Bavarian Week in September 1996 and backed by the Bavarian-Croatian Society in Cro- atia. In December the same year, there followed a photo exhibition at the palace of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. The same exhibition was staged at the Croatian Consulate in Munich, while presenting the Town of Ludbreg in May 1998.

1997 Another confirmation of the validity of the project came on July 7th 1997, when a purpose loan was granted 17 to the Croatian Conservation Institute for the construction improvement of the Batthyány Mansion and the equipping of the Conservation Centre. A contract was signed with the Bayerische Landesbank and the Bayeris- che Landesanstalt für Aufbaufinanzierung, with the guaranties provided by the Croatian Government. That same year, the Centre in Ludbreg became part of the Croatian Conservation Institute, which was brin- ging together a network of conservation departments from Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, Šibenik, Zadar, Rijeka, Pula, Juršići and Osijek. Operating within the Institute are departments for architectural heritage, land and underwater archaeology, workshops for the conservation of paintings on textile and wooden supports, polychrome wooden sculpture, furniture, metal, stone, stucco, wall paintings, mosaics, paper, leather and archaeological finds.

2000 Eight years into the cooperation, the Ludbreg Conservation Centre was officially opened on May 4th 2000. Conservation work was intensified on the war-damaged artefacts kept at the mansion, later to include other monuments of Croatian cultural heritage. A number of programmes for the professional training of conservators was initiated (conferences, seminars and workshops), including programmes of international cooperation aimed at advancing the field of art conservation and restoration.

2003 Alongside the workshop for the conservation of easel paintings and polychrome wooden sculptures, a Depar- tment for Textiles was also founded, where preventive protection and conservation is conducted, of liturgical textiles from church and monastery collections, guild and firefighter flags, national costumes from all Croatian regions, civil and military uniforms, as well as other historical artefacts made from various fabrics and often combined with other materials (wire, wax, paper, glass, beads, tassels, fur, leather, metal or paintings).

2009/2010 With the conservation workshops established and a series of professional and scientific conferences on the protection and conservation of textiles underway, in 2009 a specialized collection (textile archive) was formed at the Ludbreg Conservation Centre, for the safekeeping of endangered historical textiles. By 2014, some 500 pieces of church textiles were collected at the Textile Archive, which had originated from seven parish collecti- 18 ons in northwestern Croatia. The Textile Archive was set up in order for the severely endangered textile heritage to be kept in an appropriate manner and to be protected from deterioration. By collecting the pieces, a base of samples of historical fabrics produced in Croatia and elsewhere in Europe is also collected, as the materials provide us with further cultural and scientific information.

2014 Twenty years into the forming of the conservation workshop and the depot for artefacts damaged and evacuated from the war, the Ludbreg Conservation Centre is organized in the following manner: The ground floor of the mansion houses the Holy Cross Chapel with the permanent exhibition of the Collecti- on of Religious Art of the Ludbreg area, as well as the Conservation Centre’s: carpenter’s workshop and varnis-

hing room, janitor’s workshop, desinsection room with the chamber, reception depot and exhibition room. On the 1st floor are the Conservation Centre offices and the historical great hall that can house formal gatherings, promotions, concerts and exhibitions. Next to it, on the 2nd floor, there is a furnished and equipped hall with 60 seats, which can house seminars, presentations and workshops. Workshops on the 1st and 2nd floor of the mansion are used for the conservation of polychrome wooden sculpture, paintings on wooden and woven supports, textiles and paper. The spacious studios are available for working with large format pieces. Aside from the library and the archive, the Conservation Centre has rooms for the safekeeping of artefacts which are located on the third floor and in the basement. Visiting experts and students are accommodated in a dormitory on the 3rd floor, which has 10 rooms with a joint kitchen and a lounge room. All storeys of the mansion are connected via modern-day lift. The system for heating, ventilation, humidifica- tion and dehumidification makes it possible to maintain controlled microclimate condition in the workshops and the depot.

Konzervatorsko-restauratorska aktivnost Konzervatorsko-restauratorska aktivnost obuhvaća radove na drvenim polikromiranim oltarnim cjelinama ili skulpturama, slikama na drvenom ili platnenom nosiocu te povijesnom tekstilu. Prvih pet godina radilo se isključivo na obnovi oltarnih cjelina evakuiranih tijekom 1992. iz ratom ugroženih područja središnje i istočne Hrvatske. Programom „ratnih šteta“ bio je obuhvaćen inventar iz dvadesetak crkava. Tada se radilo u novouređenim i bavarskom donacijom opremljenim radionicama na prvom katu dvorca. Prioritet u obnovi imale su umjetnine na kojima je trebalo izvesti manje složene zahvate i koje će biti moguće vratiti u matične objekte nakon njihove obnove. Među prvima su obnovljeni mali barokni drveni polikromirani oltari iz kapela u Starom Brodu i Staroj Drenčini te skupina od tri ranobarokna drvena polikromirana oltara iz kapela u Donjem Zvečaju i Svetom Petru Mrežničkom kod Duge Rese. S restauratorima iz Hrvatske na tim su projektima radili i stručnjaci restauratori iz Bavarske i Švicarske. Nakon što je obnova evakuiranih umjetnina koje je bilo moguće vratiti u matične objekte bila realizirana, nastavilo se s radovima na crkvenim umjetninama iz ostalih dijelova kontinentalne Hrvatske. Crkve i njihov inventar dugo su godina bili zapostavljeni i zapušteni pa im je bila nužna, prije svega, preventivna zaštita, ali većim dijelom i cjeloviti konzervatorsko-restauratorski radovi. Kroz ruke restauratora i konzervatora Centra 20 prošao je velik broj umjetnina iz čak 79 lokaliteta s područja kontinentalne Hrvatske. Radilo se na drvenim polikromiranim, pozlaćenim i posrebrenim oltarnim cjelinama prve polovice 18.stoljeća i manjem broju oču- vanih vrlo vrijednih oltara iz druge polovice 17.stoljeća.

Dezinsekcija umjetnina Centar raspolaže od 2002. godine komorom za dezinsekciju umjetnina zapremine 35 m³, uz primjenu inertnog plina dušika koji nije štetan za ljudsko zdravlje ni za okoliš. U komori se anoxy metodom mogu tretirati predmeti od drva, tekstila, kože, krzna i papira, a nije štetna ni za druge materijale. Preporučeno učinkovito trajanje dezinsekcije je osam do deset tjedana, što je dovoljno da se unište nametnici u svim razvojnim stadijima. Osim suzbijanja drvnih nametnika, dezinsekcija je djelotvorna protiv protolitičke aktivnosti bakterija, gljivica i plijesni.

Dezinsekcija umjetnina obavezna je prije njihova smještaja u depoe ili radionice Zavoda. Komora, dakako, stoji na raspolaganju muzejima i drugim zbirkama pa su tako tretirani brojni predmeta iz muzejskih zbirki, oltarne cjeline iz crkava, skulpture i namještaj iz privatnih zbirki te velik broj tekstilnih predmeta iz župnih i samostanskih zbirki s područja cijele Hrvatske.

Pohrana i čuvanje umjetnina Kroz centralni depo umjetnina u proteklih dvadeset godina prošlo je tisuće objekata s osamdeset lokaliteta iz cijele Hrvatske. U depou su od 1992. godine bile pohranjene umjetnine evakuirane u vrijeme ratne opasnosti (Šišinec, Jakuševec, Letovanić, Nova Gradiška, Slavonski Brod, Stari Brod, Tomaš, Jasenovac, Pakrac, Dubrov- nik, Hrvatska Kostajnica, Karlovac). Međutim, kako su se ratom ugroženi oltari nakon obnove vraćali u isto tako obnovljene matične objekte, njihovo mjesto su sve više zauzimali objekti kojima je bio potreban hitan smještaj zbog provođenja građevinskih ili restauratorskih radova u crkvama ili dvorcima (Ivanec, Štrigova, Lukovdol, Ludina, Kloštar Ivanić, Lopatinec, Križovljan, Požega, Vinica, Koprivnički Ivanec). Povećavao se i broj objekata s područja sjeverozapadne Hrvatske na kojima su zbog velike ugroženosti i vrlo lošeg zatečenog stanja bili nužni konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radovi u radionicama HRZ-a. Sve su umjetnine prije pohrane u depou obavezno tretirane u komori za dezinsekciju. Godine 2011. građevinskim i instalaterskim radovima u južnom krilu završeno je uređenje podruma dvorca pa su sva četiri krila podruma osposobljena i opremljena za sigurno i pravilno pohranjivanje i čuvanje nerestauriranih umjetnina izrađenih od drveta (crkvenog inventara, tabulata, skulptura i sl.). Kontrolirani mikroklimatski uvjeti uspostavljaju se i održavaju uz pomoć ugrađene opreme za dodatno zagrijavanje, ventiliranje i odvlaživanje. 21 Centar stručnog usavršavanja za konzervatore i konzervatore-restauratore Hrvatski restauratorski zavod kao matična ustanova za konzervatorsko-restauratorsku djelatnost u Republici Hrvatskoj ima važnu ulogu u stalnom usavršavanju konzervatora i konzervatora-restauratora. Osim uspostavlja- nja i opremanja restauratorskih radionica i depoa, suradnja sa stručnjacima iz Bavarske bila je ključna za razvija- nje programa usavršavanja na raznovrsnim konferencijama, seminarima i radionicama koji su održani u centru. Centar nudi specijalizirane dvorane za predavanja, prostrane radionice i mogućnost smještaja za predavače i sudionike. U organizaciji Odjela za školovanje, stručno usavršavanje i međunarodnu suradnju Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda i Restauratorskog centra, od 2000. godine u Ludbregu je za velik broj konzervatora i konzervatora-restauratora iz Hrvatske i brojnih drugih država održano dvadesetak stručnih i znanstvenih

Raspravljalo se o specifičnim problemima u konzervatorsko-re- stauratorskim postupcima na drvenim polikromiranim skulpturama, štafelajnim slikama, papiru, tekstilu i zidnom slikarstvu te graditeljskoj baštini. Osim usavršavanja stručnjaka, u Restauratorskom centru Ludbreg studentsku praksu obavljaju studenti različitih usmjerenja u zaštiti kulturne baštine iz Hrvatske i inozemstva. Međunarodno savjetovanje o konzervatorsko-restauratorskoj djelatnosti – organizacija, obrazovanje i razvoj (ICOR), održano 2006. godine, najvažnije i najbrojnije (sudionici iz šesnaest država te predstavnici Vijeća Europe, UNESCO-a, ICOMOS-a, ICCROM-a i ECCO-a), organizirano je uz potporu Ministarstva kulture Re- publike Hrvatske i UNESCO-ova Ureda u Veneciji (BRESCE) te Hrvatskog nacionalnog odbora za ICOMOS. Okupilo je oko 150 sudionika i 32 predavača.

Stručna knjižnica Centra Stručna knjižnica osnovana je zahvaljujući velikoj donaciji stručnih knjiga i časopisa Bavarskog zemaljskog zavoda za zaštitu spomenika. Kontinuirano je dopunjavana novim naslovima s područja povijesti, povijesti umjetnosti, arheologije, etnologije, likovnih umjetnosti, zaštite spomenika i posebice konzervatorsko-restauratorske djelatnosti pa danas čini bitnu komponentu knjižnog fonda na razini Zavoda.

Centar kulturnog života Ludbrega i okolice

22 U suradnji s lokalnom zajednicom, udrugama građana te muzejskim i drugim kulturnim ustanovama, u re- prezentativno uređenim javnim prostorima dvorca (svečanoj dvorani, maloj predavaonici, izložbenoj dvorani, kapeli Sv. Križa i atriju) često se održavaju izložbe, koncerti, predstavljanje knjiga, monografija i zbornika te glazbeno-književne večeri, prezentacije, pa čak i snimanja za reklamne i videospotove. Tijekom znamenitih Varaždinskih baroknih večeri u ludbreškom se dvorcu održavaju koncerti. Velikom broju posjetitelja, od državnih dužnosnika i diplomatskog kora do predstavnika mnogih europskih kulturnih i turističkih organizacija, omogućeno je razgledavanje dvorca, a povremeno i restauratorskih radionica te upoznavanje povijesti Ludbrega, dvorca Batthyány i djelatnosti Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda i njegova Centra u Ludbregu. U prizemlju dvorca smješten je i reprezentativni izložbeni prostor koji je uređen u suradnji i uz financijsku

I uspješna suradnja s kolegama iz Makedonije rezultirala je 2010. izložbom grafičkih listova 17. i 18. stoljeća iz makedonskih manastira, koji se čuvaju u Muzeju i Zavodu u Prilepu, a potom predstavljanje restauratorskih projekata Restauratorskog centra Ludbreg u Bitoli. Godine 2013. Grad Ludbreg je uz Vukovar i Rovinj bio suorganizator Svjetskih umjetničkih igara održanih u Hrvatskoj te su se tom prigodom u Restauratorskom centru Ludbreg održali brojni umjetnički sadržaji poput izložbi, predavanja, koncerata, performansa i modne revije umjetnika iz svih krajeva svijeta od Južne Amerike do Novog Zelanda.

Restauratorski centar Ludbreg kuća je otvorenih vrata – za eminentne stručnjake, njihove studente i suradnike te sve one koji žele upoznati s konzervatorsko-restauratorsku struku i pomoći da se ovaj projekt još uspješnije razvija.

In the first five years, all the work was performed on altar ensembles evacuated during 1992 from the war- stricken areas of central and eastern Croatia. The programme of “war injuries” encompassed the furnishings from some twenty churches. At that time, conservation was performed in the new 1st-floor workshops that were equipped through the Bavarian donation. Priority was given to the conservation of pieces that required less complex procedures and could be returned to their places of origin after renovation. Among the first were the small Baroque polychrome wooden altars from the chapels in Stari Brod and Stara Drenčina, as well as a group of three early Baroque polychrome wooden altars from the chapels of Donji Zvečaj and Sveti Petar Mrežnički near Duga Resa. Working together with Croatian conservators on these projects were experts from Bavaria and Switzerland. As the conservation of evacuated pieces that could be returned to their places of origin came to be finalized, work continued on church artefacts from other parts of continental Croatia. Churches and their furnishings had for many years been neglected and unattended, so they required preventive protection in the first place, but for the most part, a comprehensive conservation treatment as well. A large number of artefacts passed through 24 the hands of conservators from the Centre, from as many as 79 sites in continental Croatia. Work was performed on polychrome wooden, gilded and silvered altar ensembles from the 1st half of the 18th century, and some of the preserved fine altars from the second half of the 17th century.

Desinsection of artefacts The Centre has since 2002 been equipped with a desinsection chamber of 35 m2, which uses inert nitrogen gas that is safe for health and the environment. Artefacts made from wood, textile, leather, fur and paper are treated in the chamber using the anoxy method that is safe to other materials. The recommended duration of the desinsection treatment is from eight to ten weeks, which is enough for the parasites to be extinguished in all their stages of development. Aside from suppressing wood parasites, desinsection also works against pro- teolytic activity of bacteria, fungi and mould.

Ivana Krstitelja, propovjedaonica (1676.), nakon konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova Varaždin, Church of St. John the Baptist, Pulpit (1676) after conservation Desinsection of artefacts is mandatory prior to their entering the depots or workshops of the Centre. Of course, the chamber is available to museums and other collections. A large number of artefacts from museum collections, altar ensembles from churches, sculptures and furniture from private collections have been subjected to the treatment, including a large number of textile artefacts from parish and monastery collections around Croatia.

Storing and safekeeping of artefacts Within the last 20 years, thousands of objects from 80 sites across Croatia have passed through the central depot. Since 1992, it has stored evacuated war-endangered artefacts (from Šišinec, Jakuševac, Letovanić, N. Gradiška, S. Brod, Tomaš, Jasenovac, Pakrac, Dubrovnik, Kostajnica and Karlovac). However, as war-endangered altars were being returned to their places of origin after conservation, their place was increasingly taken over by artefacts that were in urgent need of accommodation, due to ongoing construction or conservation efforts in churches and mansions (in Ivanec, Štrigova, Lukovdol, Ludina, Kloštar Ivanić, Lopatinec, Križovljan, Požega, Vinica and K. Ivanec). Also, the number of artefacts from northwestern Croatia increased, as their poor condition and a high degree of endangerment called for a treatment in the Croatian Conservation Insti- tute workshops. Prior to being stored in the depot, all artefacts were treated in the desinsection chamber. In 2011, with the construction and installation work in the southern wing, the furnishing of the basement was brought to a close, so all four wings of the basement were set up and equipped for the appropriate storing and safekeeping of wooden artefacts awaiting conservation (church furnishings, wooden ceilings, sculptures etc.). Controlled microclimate conditions are maintained using the equipment for additional heating, ventilation and dehumidification. 25 Centre for the professional education of conservators and restorers As the head institution in the field of conservation in Croatia, the Croatian Conservation Institute has an important role in the continual education of conservators and restorers. Apart from setting up and equipping the workshop and the depot, the cooperation with Bavarian experts was crucial in developing a programme of education, through various conferences, seminars and workshops held at the Centre that offers specialized lecture rooms, spacious workshops and accommodation for lecturers and participants. Since 2000, some twenty professional and scientific conferences, seminars and workshops have been organized in Ludbreg by the Section for Training, Professional Development and International Cooperation of the Croatian Cooperation Institute and the Conservation Centre, aimed for conservators and restorers from Croatia and many other countries, with lecturers coming from Germany, Slovenia, Italy, UK, Canada, France, Belgium, Croatia and other countries.

Apart from the professional education, the Conservation Centre is also open for internships of Croatian and international students of various profiles in the field of cultural heritage protection. International Conference on Conservation-Restoration – organisation, education and development (ICOR), held in 2006, was the most important and most attended conference, with some 150 participants and 32 lecturers from 16 countries, including representatives of the Council of Europe, UNESCO, ICOMOS, ICCROM and ECCO, and backed by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, the UNESCO Office in Venice (BRESCE) and the ICOMOS National Committee.

Specialized library of the Centre The specialized library was established thanks to a large donation of professional books and journals from the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation. It is constantly enriched with new editions in the fields of history, art history, archaeology, ethnology, visual arts, monument protection and especially conservation, which makes it a significant component of the Institute’s library fund.

A centre of the cultural life of Ludbreg and its surrounding area In cooperation with the local community, citizens’ associations, museum and other cultural institutions, exhibitions and concerts are often held in the portions of the mansion open to the public (great hall, small lecture room, exhibition room, Holy Cross Chapel and the atrium), as well as promotions of books, monographs and conference proceedings, evenings of music and literature, presentations and even commercial and video shoot- 26 ings. The Ludbreg mansion is also a venue for the renowned Varaždin Baroque Evenings. Tours of the mansion are given to its numerous visitors, ranging from state officials and diplomats to representatives of many European cultural and tourist organizations. Sometimes tours include a visit of the conservation workshops and an introduction to the history of Ludbreg, the Batthyány Mansion and the activities of the Croatian Conservation Institute and its Centre in Ludbreg. In the ground floor of the mansion there is a fine exhibition room, opened in cooperation and with the backing of the Town of Ludbreg and the Dragutin Novak Open Education Centre from Ludbreg. First in a series of exhibitions in the newly-opened exhibition room was organized in 2008 and focused on the projects of the Conservation Centre, and was later followed by numerous art exhibitions. In 2010, a successful cooperation with colleagues from Macedonia resulted in an exhibition of 17th- and 18th-century graphic folios from Macedonian monasteries that are kept at the Institute and Museum of Prilep.
